Sustainability

How can print businesses do that in practice? Olivia points to the merits of HP Latex, the most environmentally certified technology¹ in large-format printing.
 
“HP Latex produces odorless² prints for even the most sensitive spaces and does not produce any hazardous air pollutants.³ Those are two enormous advantages for any print operator.”
 
Noëlle agrees but maintains that this isn’t a one-time fix. “What’s good for operators is good for business. When you prioritize your people, you foster a positive organizational culture and sense of belonging and naturally this helps you build a better company. However, making sure the workplace stays that way requires constant work and attention.”
 
HP provides this continuous training that Noëlle refers to through HP PrintOS Learn.⁴  The self-service platform enables print operators to learn at their own pace—anytime, anywhere. With the latest training and knowledge available on the app, it’s easy for print businesses to stay up to date with evolving workplace demands.
 
Linked to that is the print industry’s glaring recruitment challenge. According to a recent industry survey, PSPs indicated that, on average, they were unable to fill 36% of their open positions for more than a year.⁵ In Noëlle’s view, providing a comfortable working environment can help tackle this challenge.
 
“The two Rs top of mind for every print business are ‘recruitment’ and ‘retention’. This is undoubtedly a complex issue, which means there isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. But one thing is certain—a focus on employee experience, and protecting employees at work, can only be a good thing.”
 
HP is committed to supporting employee wellbeing. Using HP Latex has tangible benefits for print operators and shows employees and customers alike that sustainable printing is a top priority for your commercial print business.
